China school in hot water over US$140,000 cash prize for student accepted by top university
A privately run secondary school in China has landed in trouble after it offered a controversial one million yuan (US$140,000) cash reward to a graduate who has been admitted to the prestigious Tsinghua University. In early August, Dajiang International School in Guigang, a small city in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in southwestern China, held a graduation ceremony for its Class of 2025 students. The cash awards prompted the Guigang Municipal Education Bureau to intervene and stop the school's 'irregular practice'. 'The state authorities discourage schools from doing publicity on their 'gaokao' scores. We have already stopped the Dajiang school's practice,' an official from the bureau, whose name was not revealed, told Jiupai News on August 12. At the ceremony, a number of graduates who were recently admitted to top universities received cash prizes from their alma mater. Among them was a girl, surnamed Luo, who is set to become a first-year at Tsinghua University in September.
